Dear Friends,

The changing leaves and falling temperatures signal a new season, one in which we enjoy brisk walks outside, cozy fires inside, the company of friends and family, and, with more time indoors, perhaps a bit more time for stitching. Here at the shop we are gearing up for the holiday season, ordering canvases, gathering goods for our annual holiday pop-up, planning trunk shows and activities for the upcoming year, and contemplating the shop’s schedule for the holiday season. We have been thinking about this newsletter, and how we might make it more informative. To that end, we have linked the first in what we hope will be a series of pieces discussing how we approach gathering threads and choosing stitches for a new canvas. As always, thank you for taking the time to catch up on our latest news.

All the best,

Holiday Trunk Show

We are happy to share that the Julia’s Needleworks Christmas Ornament Trunk Show is now in the shop. Trunk show canvases are 20% off their regular price. We will host the trunk show through mid-December.

A Clean Canvas

“Creativity is intelligence having fun.”  Albert Einstein

Imagine that you have made one of our new canvases your own. What do you do next? You might dive into your stash and stitch books. You might make an appointment to work with us to choose threads and stitches. The “together” aspect of this process is essential, however, because thread, color, and stitch choices are highly personal. While we might make suggestions, the decisions are yours. Identical canvases stitched by two stitchers can yield dramatically different finished pieces, with each piece reflecting the artistic preferences of its stitcher.

Because hard and fast rules about choosing threads and stitches do not exist, we have decided to write a series of pieces sharing what we keep in mind as we choose threads and stitches for a new canvas. Our first piece begins generally, with the things we would like to keep in mind as we go. Our intention is to follow this initial piece with a series considering specific possibilities: threads, stitches, and stitching order. Our ultimate goal is to equip you to make the decisions that will make your finished canvas uniquely yours.
